I did a sketch in my sketchbook, "scanned" it in with a phone picture, did the lineart for the squid girl in Paint Tool SAI, and then went to town in Photoshop. A lot of time was spent trying to get the right shade of pink that wouldn't get messed up a lot by CMYK colour conversion.

Right, I guess I was pretty vague. 

The non-pixel lineart was drawn via tablet in Paint Tool SAI. Anything that looks pixelated, like the squid on the beanie button and sign were all done in separate documents in Photoshop. While the main drawing was done at a large resolution, the pixel parts were done in very tiny resolution in a separate document to support the size of the 1-pixel pencil tool. Pixel art can be resized in Photoshop using the "Nearest Neighbour' sizing option, but you must resize your pixel work by even multiples to keep accurate pixels. For example, if you wanna resize a sprite from Super Mario Bros to 10 times it's normal size, but make it not grainy and blurry, you must resize the sprite image by exactly 10x the size, and also make sure "Nearest Neighbour" is selected in Photoshop resizing. After my sprite work is big enough for a large size image like this, I put it into the image and just transform it a little to match the rest of the image.

S-sorry, kinda weird description I think. The short answer is: The majority of the image was done with SAI and Photoshop, and anything pixelated was drawn separately, resized, and copied afterwards.
